How is it that the House has unlimited time

to vote on a motion? A fifteen-minute vote stays open for 6 or 8 hours. Now, before anyone says, "they all do it", Nancy Pelosi would never go to the floor unless she was sure she had the votes secured. I can't remember keeping a vote open for multiple hours. An extra half hour or hour, I can understand that. But this latest vote is up to 5 hours.

I served on boards, and we voted. You vote during roll call, and you can change your vote only before the vote is gaveled, which only was minutes after the motion was made. Now, I know the House votes electronically, but once the allotted fifteen minutes that are up there should be one last call and the vote should only remain open beyond that by unanimous consent.

This is ridiculous.
